Chocolate Almond Smoothie

A great way to start your day before you 'go nuts' at work: Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothie. If you don't like eating nuts, try drinking them. That said, choose your 'milk' wisely. Check the content and read the labels to avoid buying nut-flavored waters with additives.

I have recently discoveredElmhurst Milked. Their flavor is rich, they have "options" (hazelnut, walnuts, cashew, almond...even oats), and their product has a higher ratio of real nuts to water--obviously, that comes with a price.

This recipe adds an extra boost of 'nuts' with a few tablespoons of nut butter. See what you think!
